Laboratory Procedures: 🩸💩🔬
Lab samples can be anything from blood and urine to ear swabs and skin samples. This is a crucial role in diagnosing and providing care for your pet. Technicians are trained in all laboratory sampling procedures. This includes safely collecting and storing samples from many different species, some of which require very different collection methods. Technicians can take samples from horses, cattle, rabbits, reptiles, birds, goats and much more! 🐎🐮🐇🐍🐥
Technicians will also prepare samples that need further testing at specialist laboratories, ensuring that the sampling procedures are followed and the samples are shipped appropriately.
